To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDOUARD FAUTEUX, a citizen of the Dominion ofCanada, residing in the city and district of Montreal and Province ofQuebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inClothes-Line Pulleys, (for which I have obtained a patent in Canada, No.35,673, dated December 27, 1890 and I do hereby declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

My invention has reference to a pulley especially adapted for clotheslines and in which the hood is made out of sheet iron or steel or othersuitable metal and composed of two pieces only.

The object of my invention is toprovide a cheap, simple strong andserviceable pulley for clothes lines.

Referring to the drawings similar letters refer to similar partsthroughout the several Views.

Figure l is a side elevation, Fig. 2 a front elevation Fig. 3 the pieceforming the sides of the hood flattened out and Fig. 4 the piece formingthe top of the hood flattened out.

A is an ordinary cast pulley firmly secured in the wrought iron or steelhood B, composed of two pieces only, the one C forming the sides, andthe one D forming the top. The piece 0 is cutout by means of a die, andthen has the form shown in Fig. 3, the holes E serving for the passageof the shaft F, and the ones G for the insertion of the projections H ofthe piece D, which is also cut out by a die, and has the form shown inFig. 4. The ends of the projections H, are when inserted into the holesG riveted down so that the whole forms a simple and strong hood B.

I, is a bracket, made out of any suitable material but preferably ofmalleable cast iron, and serves to secure the pulley wherever desired bymeans of screws inserted into the holes J. The central portion kof thebracket forms a pintle'which engages with the bottom of the loop formedby the plate 0 when bent double into the form shown in Fig. 1.

As can be seen the whole is put together by bending the piece 0, so asto form a U, the bracket I being inserted; and then the piece D, whichis previously bent on a templet, so as to conform to the curve of theholes fG, and is brought into the proper position and the projections Hinserted into the holes G, and then riveted down, as above mentioned.

The shaft F of the pulley A can be cast with it, in which case it isinserted between the sides of the hood B, before riveting theprojections H, or, can be separate, and riveted on after. 7

Having described my invention, What I claim,and desire to securebyLetters Patent, is-

In a clothes line pulley, the combination of the ordinary pulley A, withthe wrought iron or steel hood B, composed of the two pieces 0 and D,and the bracket I, substantially as described and for the purposes setforth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signatu re in presence of two witnesses.

EDOUARD FAUTEUX.
